"SHEGO!" Drakken's shrill voice broke through Shego's nap and she growled as she answered the intercom in her room.
"This better be good, Dr. D. I'm trying to get some beauty sleep right now." Shego snarled.
"S-Sorry, Sh-Shego." Drakken practically whimpered. "We have s-some important ma-matters to discuss about Kim Possible."
This woke Shego up. They were going to talk about Princess? This was a change in topic. Normally, she was called to talk about the new plans or devices that needed to be stolen. Yes, she knew in the end Kim and her buffoon sidekick would stop them in the end, but they still never talked about her. Even though they should. Still, she wasn't about to complain. She could talk about Kimmie all day.
"I'll be there in 5." Shego said into the intercom in an attempt to stop her train of thought.
Shego knew Kim was attractive. But who didn't. Well, maybe Kim herself didn't think so. She knew first hand because Kim had told her. That's right, Kim and she had, had an actual conversation. No fighting. Just a sit down conversation that had been started when they formed a truce after being trapped. She can't remember how it happened. It just...did. Shego smirked as she got dressed. Ever since, Pumpkin and her had, had been in secret contact with each other. Just for sparring practice set-up, though...and, yeah, okay, the occasional talk, but they were still enemies. Arch foes. They were playing at different ends of the spectrum and that was all they's have with each other.
Shego had barely realized she was in the main room until Drakken interrupted her thoughts.
"Shego! Finally!" Drakken said. "There are some matters to be discussed about you and Miss Possible."
This caught Shego off guard and she raised a single, trimmed eyebrow in his direction.
"And that is...?" She trailed off for him too continue.
"Shego, it has come to my attention that every time you and Kim Possible fight you are always evenly matched. You two are so used to fighting each other that there's nothing the other could do that could surprise the other. Or so you think!" Drakken shouted as he looked straight at her. "I have hired another free lancing theif. You are to train-EEP!"
Drakken barely had time to duck when the fiery plasma ball was thrown at him.
"You did WHAT!?" Shego yelled as she picked him up by the front of his shirt. "I can take care of Pumpkin by myself just fine!"
"I-I'm sorry, Sh-Shego. Bu-But it's too l-late now. They'll be here any-" Drakken was interrupted by a large doorbell.
Shego glared at him, and she angrily stormed towards the door. She opened the door, ready to tell whoever it was to just beat it, when she felt her heart stop.
"Now, boys, remember: Be on your best behavior if Kayla's gone. And do not watch the news." A young teenaged girl was telling two young boys.
They had ragged and dirty clothes and they looked like they hadn't bathed in a while.
"Ah, shit..." Shego silently whispered, but it was just loud enough for the teenager to hear.
"Hey, dude, I gotta keep my tongue when I'm with these two all the time so shut woncha?" The teen said with a glare.
The teen stood up and put her hand out to shake.
"You must be Shego. The one guy...Drakken, I think, said I'd be your apprentice or something. I'm Kayla. These are my brothers." Kayla said as they shook hands. You brought the two boys forward. "This is Mike and Stephen."
Shego looked at the boys and could tell they probably hadn't eaten in the last few days. She frowned when examining the girl and could tell she'd probably eaten less than the boys. Shego sighed and moved so they could enter.
"Yeah. I'm Shego. Now get in, so you can clean up and eat."
Now that the kids were cleaned up and eating, Shego could tell physical features from them. The girl had short, brown hair that was pulled back in a small pony-tail. She didn't look the part of a thief. She had an innocent looking face. But if you wanted the truth, you had to look into the eyes. She had brown eyes...no, green. Wait, they were changing colors. The longer you stared, the faster they changed. But they were sharp looking. They looked knowing, but unforgiving. All in all, she was the perfect thief. Her youngest brother, Stephen, had her brown hair and his eyes remained the singular brown. His face was round. The other brother, Mike, looked nothing like his two siblings. He had light, blonde hair and pale, blue eyes. The only way you could tell he was related to them was that he had the same sharp feature as his sister, yet still making himself look innocent. The boys were wolfing down the food, but Kayla gently picked at with no interest. Shego then notice a silver chain around her neck that traveled under her shirt. She'd ask about it later.
"You should eat, kid. We start training tomorrow." Shego spoke up. "And I'll be tutoring your brothers. Not to be a thief, but you all need to be schooled. So eat up, kid."
"Hey!" she said indignantly. "I'm not a kid. I'm a teenager."
"Whatever, kid." Shego snickered at the glare thrown her way. "Still, you need to eat. You'll need the energy."
"Okay." Kayla said with a raised eyebrow and a cautious bite.
Shego smirked. The kid wasn't trusting her, even though, she'd be teaching her how to be an expert thief. This kid would be a natural.
A month later
"You won't stop me Kim Possible!" Drakken shouted with a wicked smile. "Attack, Shego!"
Shego jumped out at Kim trying to aim a kick at her, but Kim caught her leg and threw her. Shego landed easily on her feet and smirked at Kim.
"How's it going, Kimmie. Long time no see." Shego said.
"And I was beginning to think you'd finally given up, Shego. You've been gone so long." Kim said as she threw punches at Shego.
"Aw, were you worried for me? How sweet. Now you've made me feel bad about doing this." Shego teased as she easily blocked and dodged Kim's assaults.
"Do what?" Kim said smugly as she nabbed the item Shego and Drakken had been trying to steal. "Lose?"
"You wish. Kid!" Shego shouted.
Kim looked confused until she felt the item seemingly slip through her fingers. She looked up as a finger appeared next to Shego. It was teenage girl with brown hair pulled into a short pony-tail. She was wearing a catsuit similar to Shego's, but was black and blue instead of black and green. She was smiling smugly at Shego.
"Shego, you said she'd be a challenge. That was too easy." The girl yawned as she gave Shego the item.
"Losing your touch, Pumpkin? You just got robbed by a kid." Shego chuckled as the girl lightly pushed her.
"Hold up. Who are you?" Kim asked.
"I'm-"
"She's my new apprentice." Shego said nonchalantly. "We-"
"Shego! Kayla!" Drakken shouted with Ron chasing after him. "Let's go!"
"Love to chat, Cupcake, but I gotta go. Call me later." Shego winked as she grabbed Kayla and ran.
Kim stood their blushing before she shook her head and caught up to Ron just in time to watch Shego, Drakken, and Kayla fly away.
"Ron," Kim broke the silence. "I need an apprentice."
So what'dya guys think so far? Til next time.
